Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
